MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
In order to prolong the life expectancy of your bike, here is an example of a maintenance schedule, in
the case of regular use, that we recommend following:
1. Before & after each outing
- Check the brakes
- Check the tire pressure and any damage
- Check the alignment of the wheels
- Check that the battery is locked on the frame
- Store your bike carefully in a clean and dry place
- Check that your kickstand is tightly secured
- Check for loose wires
- Charge your battery
2. Every month
- Inspect the possible presence of play in the steering tube
- Check the cables, tires, handles
- Check the wear of discs, brake pads, replace them if necessary
- Check the sail of the wheels, the tension of the spokes
3. Every six months (depending on frequency, and type of use)
- Inspect the frame, fork and look for signs of cracks in the metal.
- Check the play of the bottom bracket.
- Check and grease the wheel hubs, headset, all parts in friction.
For a more efficient control, it is advisable to go to your authorized dealer, in order to make a thorough
check. For your own safety, take your E-Bike for its first inspection with your specialist dealer after 200
to 400 km (125 to 250 miles) or at the latest after three months.
WASHING AND CARING FOR YOUR BIKE
Sweat, dirt and salt from winter road maintenance or sea air can damage your bike. You should
therefore regularly clean your Super 73 and protect it against corrosion. Use clear water for cleaning
and a little bit of soap if necessary to dissolve grease residues. Do not spray water directly onto your
Super 73. Instead, use a lightly damp cloth to wipe down any down any dirt or debris. After drying your
bike, treat surfaces with a care product. Finally, wipe all parts with a clean, soft cloth.
ATTENTION!
Do not clean your Super 73 with a strong water jet or steam jet from
a short distance. The water can get passed the seals and get inside the bearings. Lubricants are
diluted, increasing friction. In the long run, the bearing surfaces will deteriorate.
!
DANGER!
Intensive use of the Super 73 may cause possible damage to the frame and the fork. It is important to
inspect the frame and the fork and look for signs of cracks. A broken or cracked frame and fork can
cause a fall, danger or accident.
